Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture

In modern society even a simple building holds many complex aspects, its program, structure, mechanical program, and expression. The author opens a view that is different from the traditional, orthodox idea of architecture: embracing the problems, challenges, complexities the design has to resolve. Venturi prefers richness of meaning and inconsistency over clarity and directness. However, he also states that the complexity and contradiction of the architecture should not be excluded from the whole. It has to hold its truth to the totality.
